Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Quests with brandon

Hello, newcomer on the forums here

I searched a bit on the forum on how to handle tenebrium, and i found a reference about a quest with brandon, the mine overseer. Problem is, he doesn't give me any quest.

Same about the troll's bounty, i read it started with brandon, but he didn't give it to me.

So, did i misread, did i miss something, or is my dear brandon(until i don't need him) is bugged?

Did you really speak to him about everything? Ask him about his retirement plan or whatever? I don't remember there being a charisma check or anything to get him to give you the quest.

i think i did the first time i met him, and if i remember right i got something like "we'll talk about this later". now when i talk to him, no reference to that, and no quest even if i talk about everything i can.

When you refuse his "shady" offer, he never again offers it actually. So you are locked out of tenebrium weapons for 3 of 4 characters, as only -1- skill book with this skill exists, and it's in Attenboroughs office (in the hidden imacculate village, she's the geomancer there). I assume this is the "fall back" Larian added to make sure SOMEONE could handle this in your group.

damn, i'm not sure i have a save before that -_-. well, no tehe weapon on this party then.

Thx for the info

Same problem here.
Also i manage to avoid the Imaculate geomancer agro and she became friendly.

So i was stuck with none of my heroes with Tenebrium skill, only the two compagnons get it.

I must kill the geomancer to get a book and give to an hero 1 point on Tenebrium. Unfortanely the other one still haven't it.

If the pacifist way is a valid option, refuse Brandon quest and became friend with the geomancer, the skill should be avaible by other way.

In fact this skill should not be link to a "optional" quest.

The book should be reusable; that was fixed awhile ago. If that change wasn't applied retroactively, use the Save Game Editor to give your characters the skill.

No book into my inventory.

And i am not sure that using a save game editor is a clean solution (any way thank for the tip )


The main problem is : how to get the Skill without murder the geomancer or accept Brandon request ( assuming you will won the rockpapercisor test) ?

Stealing: stealth or invisibility

Go to a place called Sacred Stone, the portal to this place is in the trap door in Loic's chappel, you can either complete the immaculate trial to get the key for the trap door or you can just break the door.

In Sacred Stone there is a lady immaculate called "Attenberah" or something. She has a ice and fire elemental in front of her room. Don't go in and talk to her if you not high enough level as she is very likely to fight you and then the rest of the town will fight you as well. If you have invisible skill or potion, use it and go in. There is a book called "How to handle Tenebrium" on one of the shelves, just steal it and come out of the room. Once you have this book give it to each of your characters and make them read it to get the Tenebrium skill.
